I like and am keeping mine (Sub compact). I will send it in for the "fix" shortly.

Best chance of that... Look out for the "Shotgun Shootout" announcements on this forum. There are a group of forum members here that are shotgun enthusiasts and meet usually once a month at the Clinton Wildlife Management Area Along I-78 in Clinton Twp. Bring some shells and/or clays with you, and I'm sure there will be folks that will let you borrow their shotties and try them out. Be sure to bring ear & eye protection as well.

Yes, they are true, indeed! Here are a couple of examples. Shaneen Allen & Brian Fletcher. Unfortunately, I don't think they could try the "federal challenges" in NJ because NJ is in the 3rd district of the US Federal Court. A lot different than the 7th for Illinois (BTW, I went to undergrad. college at NU, and I lived in Roger's Park for 2 years and then Schaumburg for 3, before returning to NJ). What will have to happen is to have CCW pass in a couple of districts, then fail in the 3rd (and the 9th district likely), and then have it resolved in SCOTUS. But we have to get a couple more Trump pics on SCOTUS before they take it on. If you and your daughter go together, you should be OK to rent. Either that, or depending on where you are staying in NJ, consider heading over to PA or Delaware to shoot there.

Welcome from Tampa Bay, FL, from a former NJ'ian. You are correct that it is next to impossible for the average citizen to get a concealed carry permit in NJ (unless you or your atty. are very well connected with the judge in the coutny in which you're applying - that judge and the CLEO of the municipality are the two you have to get by, and you almost never get by the judge). As for the "2 or more," some ranges may restrict admissions for various reasons. Most of the time, they don't; want a solitary individual entering the range to shoot, especially if they're looking to rent a firearm from the range because they don't own one themselves. This, to mitigate the risk of suicides. There have been a lot of them in various ranges. I gather, bringing a partner lessens the risk as well. The current state of NJ gun laws grows worse every day, now that there is a democratic governor. Several bills just got signed into law... the nastiest one (IMHO) being a ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds. The previous mag limit In NJ was 15 rounds. That one is being challenged in court. I'm sure others here will be able to provide more color on these new laws, as well as the older ones, which were just as odious. Yes, you being a non-resident would not be allowed to bring in your hand gun and/or carry it without a permit. Also, you have to make sure that whatever weapons you bring into NJ are "NJ Legal," and there a a lot of different rules/regs about what is and is not NJ Legal. The best resource on this would be Evan Nappen's book, NJ Gun Law... Anyway, Welcome to the forum!

Message passed on....

I will forward this to my Florida Gun forums. If you have an URL for Signature forms, I'll pass that along as well. Regards, Arnold

If such a place can be found, then God Bless... I was only thinking of places if these options were not available. I also maintain my offer to store them here in Florida for any NJGF member if they should wish to come to FL at some point to shoot.

Well, my interest in firearms really didn't pique until later in life. I did shoot .22 pistols and single shot bolt action rifles both growing up and in college. But I guess I went "on hiatus" on firearms interest after that, until 2013 and did not own my first firearm until 2014. I did learn of some firearms from watching LE shows like "Miami Vice" in the 80s, For example, that is where I learned about the MAC-10 (they did a whole ep about those). That will probably be my first NFA purchase when I get to that point (I have some other priorities at present), This, primarily because it's a bit cheaper than what I really want in NFA items (a classic "Chicago Typewriter" Thompson with drum mags - which I understand is going for about $60K, now... as is a classic M-16, but i'm not sure I'd do one of those, I'd rather have the Thompson... ). Beyond that, I'm looking at a long range sniper weapon (i.e. a TacOps Bravo-51). For a "large caliber" piece, maybe a Barret M82A1. And then, perhaps, a decent 1911.. maybe a Dan Wesson.... I don't know if I want to move up to a Wilson Combat... Those are just plain pricey... After that, it's only maintaining a good stock for EDC, etc. or a "home defense" shottie.. maybe a 2nd JM-Pro for that (but with a shorter barrel). Of course, all of this is pending financing, so it might have to wait a bit...

I would think so.... Unless something has changed with these new round of bills/laws. But I wouldn't do it just yet... I'd wait for the legal challenges to work themselves out. And, if they are ever declared illegal, permanently, you should be able to store them out of state (i.e. Gunsitters in Easton, PA).

I blew it on the "most popular" round... I chose .22 because I thought more of the newbies would pick that and not 9mm (for the more hard core users).

I wouldn't use the Tax Collector office for certain things like CWFL renewals. Remember, they're the "Tax Collector," after all. If you have a tax dispute with them.... I used it only to get my new FL Driver License upon arrival in FL, and to transfer the title of my car, but that's about it. Now I can do those renewals on-line directly to the State office. And the DOACS regional office is close enough for me to do that and walk out with the license in hand.

1LT - How are you going to get her home? Will the two of you drive back in her car?

Well, obviously it's not the merchant's responsibility for the hike in the FPID/P2P fees. But I wonder if any of the additional "gun" fees (other than std. sales tax) will be collected by the FFL upon the delivery phase...

I think a lot of the e-commerce / e-store software available have tax modules in them to handle at least the 50 states. They might have to expand it for the county/municipal entities as well. Ultimately, I think it will be handled after a few initial hickups. Now, those who take phone orders or don't use modern e-commerce sites may have a problem. But I recall there being rather robust tax handling modules in Drupal, so I'm sure the professional sites could handle it.

Fair enough. It depends on the volume the state is processing. On your next renewal, you should go directly to the closest DOACS regional office (there's one in Tampa). You can be in and out in like 5 minutes with card in hand.

How long did they say it would take to receive it, and what did they accept for "proof of training?"

Correct. As long as the merchant does not have "tax nexus" in the state to where they are shipping (i.e. any kind of facility, building, office, warehouse or those kinds of presences), then the merchant is not required to collect sales tax on any orders shipped to that state. The "buyer" OTOH, is required to declare "use tax" (i.e. same amt. as the sales tax they would have paid if bought in the buyer's home state) on their State Income tax return. I do recall the NJ-1040 having such a line on that form. How the states "police" those amounts, I do not know... I'm thinking they can't, right now. Only if they come to audit your house, or something like that.... It's why, for example, various states were offering Amazon incentives to build warehouses/fulfillment centers in their state so that they would gain tax nexus and be required to collect tax on items "Sold by Amazon LLC." Now, some items are not "Sold by Amazon LLC" but by a third party. They're just "fulfilled by Amazon" at their fulfillment center. In that case, tax would *not* be collected if the "sold by" merchant and the buyer were not in the same state. EDIT: Ah, I see where SCOTUS has just ruled 5-4 that merchants may now be required to collect sales tax even if they don't have tax nexus in the state. So, Internet merchants will have to start collecting it if the state demands they do (and what state wouldn't require that???)... Hmmmm..... game changer.

I never do Publix unless it's absolutely necessary. I was a Winn-Dixie guy for a while, until I discovered Wally World! There's only one thing I have to go to WD for, now. I found replacements for everything I bought at WD in Wally.. all cheaper.

Well, remember, FL drivers (at least the ones you see on the Interstates) are usually from other States (NJ, MI, NY) and even other Countries (a lot of Canadian plates here as well). I think native FL drivers are pretty decent, albeit slow and deliberate, causing the others to do stupid/dangerous things to get around them. I've learned to take it easy and not push, and stay in the slow lane. Again, it also helps that the speed limits are generally higher in FL than in NJ (65 max on Interstates and TPK; 70 in FL) And many state highways off the beaten path are in the 60-65 range when they're sufficiently away from a town center (where it slows down). You can always tell when you're approaching a town as the speed limit generally decreases to about 30-35, and then goes back up to what it was, once you leave the town center. BTW, Howard, if you need to take US-301 to get anywhere, take care as the old stories about the "speed trap towns" are true, and they're still operating as such... Two of them that I know of (City of Lawtey, and City of Starke, both in Bradford County). Both still have municipal LEAs that enforce those speed laws. The City of Waldo, Alachua county, (the worst offender) no longer has a local LEA but is patrolled by the Alachua County Sheriff's Dept. Not as dangerous as before, but I'd still be cautious. I've definitely seen the speed trap active in Lawtey. Speed Limit is 45 in those sections of Lawtey. Do not go over it. Starke can go down to 30-35 in the downtown area. The general limit outside of the towns is 65. Waldo has a section where it's 45, then it's 55, then it's 45 again, before it goes back up to 65. Oh yeah.... if "Starke" sounds familiar, it's because it's the county seat of Bradford county. It's also the official mailing location for the "Florida State Prison" (i.e where the male "Death Row" and the Execution chambers are) which is about 10-12 miles up FL 16 from the town center (US 301 & FL 16). The prison complex is on unincorporated land shared between two different counties, separated by the "New" river. The "Union Correctional Institution" (formerly Florida State Prison - West" is on the Union county side, and it's mailing location is the Town of Raiford. The Florida State Prison (formerly FSP - East) is on the Bradford county side, so it's mailing location is the City of Starke.

isnt I4 Down near Orlando? I’m North and about three hours from there. Yes went that way and trip was great till we linked up with 95 in SC and then had all the NY, NJ and CT drivers that drive slow in the left lane and weave in and out like crazy. Well, I-4 continues past Orlando, going northeast towards Daytona Beach, where it terminates, there. So, obviously, you must be north of that. Excellent! Yeah, not too much one can do about getting back on I-95 after you leave I-26, but... And the problem with it is, it's still 2-lanes each way until you reach Georgia. I trust your dogs survived. Did you see the Cabela's on the SC Borderline, even if you couldn't stop there?

So you're at one end of I-4 and I'm at the other... Hope you are north of I-4, as that's the demarc line between "us" and "them.." How was the trip down? Did you take the I-81 --> I-77 --> I-26 route?

Welcome from Tampa Bay, Florida, from a former NJian.

TMZ Website - Jerry Lewis Gunathon (Massive Personal Arsenal For Sale)... Well, of course TMZ has spun this in a way that makes him look buffoonish... more so than his character portrayals... How can they call 73 weapons a "Massive Personal Arsenal???" And to think, Jerry was born in Newark! Still, It just goes to show that some people in Hollywood are, in fact, pro-2A. But it also shows how the Hollywood establishment and the MSM will paint them as idiots..

Agreed, but I think we need a couple more "Trump Picks" on SCOTUS to seal that deal.... If we can get Notorious RBG and Kennedy replaced, we'll be in pretty good shape.

Not only that, but there are even billboard ads for them on the Interstates... I'd love to have Florida for another 30 years, which, hopefully, would cover the rest of my life. That said, no matter how much time either I or Florida have left, I still have loved ones (a niece and nephew) that will be around a lot longer than me (hopefully). I have to think about them and what they'll do. i also have to think about who will be inheriting my "inventory..." where they live, and the restrictions with which they'll have to deal. It may be that I have to just simply sell my inventory (if possible) if I can't bequeath them to any loved one. And I'll have to make sure I do that while I still have "control" of myself (i.e. no "neurological" issues, etc.). Still, I'm not sure we'll have even 10-20 years of freedom in FL, let alone 30. If it's to happen at all, I think it's going to happen a lot sooner than that.
